  1. so it's been awhile since starting this thread, but my love affair with Insanity still continues. the results I got with it were seriously insane, and I've been trying to find a way to duplicate them while avoiding the redundancy (I have memorized all the Insanity DVDs). last year, I did a P90X/Insanity combo, but I didn't shed pounds the way I did with Insanity daily. now I'm getting back in to working out and started with T25. my husband and I tried T25 initially and didn't see results in 3+ weeks so were discouraged. now I'm using it as a stepping stone to 1 - 2 weeks of Insanity which will lead to... THE ASYLUM. gotta keep it fresh, right?? ; ) I'm sure it will all be worth it. in september, my husband and I are headed back to the Royal Playa del Carmen in Mexico where we were married 2+ yrs ago. : ) even though it's not the wedding, we both have put on a few pounds working at desk jobs, so it's a nice reason to get in shape again.
  2. no KIDDING?! the royal in cancun was purchased by hyatt (it's now the hyatt zilara). fortunately, according to the trip advisor reports nothing has really changed. maybe the same is in store for playa. sad for the change, but it's indicative of all the commercial traffic playa has garnered - I've been going there for the past decade, and it's really different today. but I'm still in love with it and would consider buying a condo there if not for the political uncertainty. as far as the beach, it all depends on what you're used to. I found it to be better than Hawaii's big island (their beaches are either rocky or man-made). but if it's a beach you want, you cannot beat Tulum. we went to one there through a tour company, and they said it was the one used on Corona commercials! the playa beach also has a lot of local pedestrians. of course, they're not allowed on the Royal's property, but where the water meets the sand is public domain, so there's no way to control what happens. that's one reason we chose to get married in the gazebo. apologies if much of this has been said already. it's been quite a hiatus for me, but I'm happy to answer any questions!
  3. I'm headed back to the Royal (6th time - certifiable, I know!!). will anyone be getting married there over Labor Day??
  4. omg, I could not agree with you more! I tried to do another round of Insanity this year to prepare for our upcoming anniversary trip back to Playa, and I was so bored with the videos (this is my 3+ time through). I cannot WAIT for the new T25 and signed up to get an email when it's released this summer. : ) Shaun posted a video of it on his facebook page on Monday, and I think other videos were leaked to You Tube. this year I'll do the reverse and get in shape AFTER Mexico (but still during bikini season... ; )
  5. Like so many other brides, I’m finally cleaning out the wedding supplies in preparation for our anniversary trip to Playa del Carmen. All items are in brand new, never used condition (except where noted below). I’m not opposed to shipping to Canada but would prefer if the order total is at least $30. Shipping will be the actual cost to your destination based on the items ordered. I’d love it if you want to order multiple items – please make an offer! 9 Eco-Wish Lanterns – $35 It was too windy for us to release these at the wedding. All are brand new in original packaging. 12 raffia fans wrapped with turquoise ribbon – $15 There is a LOT of variation in the size of these fans (average is 11†long by 9†tall). I purchased two dozen and selected the largest fans from both batches to create this set of 12. The handles are wrapped with turquoise ribbon. I’ll throw in extra ribbon and glue dots just in case. 120 cups of Flyboy naturals freeze-dried rose petals – McLenglish Blend – $100 These were intended for a friend’s wedding (locally) but it was too windy that day to use them. Original cost was well over $200. The freeze-drying process preserves petals perfectly. They look and smell amazing. 6 ecoTools Bamboo mini foot files – $10 These would make perfect bridesmaid gifts. 3 Earth Jute Bags in Teal– $15 These are 100% biodegradable and carry a great message. Perfect for the beach (and your bridesmaids!) Approx. 12â€H x 16â€W x 7.5†gusset and holds up to 20 lbs. Wet bikini bag - $10 The inside of this bag is lined in plastic, ideal for holding wet items. I originally purchased it off eBay. There are no tags, but it looks brand new. Starfish punch – $10 This was used to create decorations for our invitations and placecards (mine is pictured). Super cute! 5 Blume boxes – $15 Set includes 4 lime green 4†cubes and one fuchsia 8†bouquet holder. Perfect for transporting small flower arrangements (and your bouquet) after the ceremony. These are slightly scuffed from sticker removal, but it may not be an issue if you decide to decorate them. For ideas and to learn more, see: http://www.blumebox.com/ 10 Clear plastic luggage tags and ties – $10 I meant to make these for our guests but completely ran out of time. 34A Sew in bra cups – $10 These are teardrop shaped, push up bra cups from Your Dream Dress. I ultimately decided to wear a strapless bra as opposed to adding these to the dress.
